Is Pregnancy Possible Through Intercourse Before Menstruation?

Question: Hello Doc,
me & my gf had sex and on same night she had periods. We used protection, but i remember we try once without protection as well, but not inserted (its half inch) much and not even come there. we had sex couple of time in night with protection. On next day she had periods and periods are last long for almost 6-9 days (she was bleeding). As extra precausion we took emergency pill (i-pill) as well after 16 hours.
Her date was 4th sept and now its more than month but she is waiting for period.
we are afraid due to delay in periods. what causes this much delay?
Is there any chance getting pregnant? Why white bleeding was there during her cycle?
please give us a advice.
Thnaks.

Brief Answer:
Side effect of i pill
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
If she had proper periods after intercourse, then the chances of pregnancy are nil.
I pill is known to delay the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks.
This delayed period is most likely due to I pill.
However, she should rule out pregnancy by doing a urine pregnancy test.
I suggest you both not to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Hi Doc,
Thanks for your quick help.
We would like understand why white bleeding was there and why bleeding was about to 8 days long? Is this a side effect of emergency pill she took? or anything else?
